Abstract

A door wiring module includes a service hole cover having a main surface with a groove, at least one wiring member housed in the groove, and a wiring cover covering an opening of the groove. A first attachment part and a second attachment part are provided on both sides of the groove in the main surface of the service hole cover. The service hole cover and the wiring cover are provided so that they can be in a free state where a space is formed between the second end portion and the second attachment part in a temporal attachment state where the first end portion of the wiring cover is attached to the first attachment part and the second end portion of the wiring cover is not attached to the second attachment part.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A door wiring module, comprising:
 a service hole cover having a main surface with a groove;   at least one wiring member housed in the groove; and   a wiring cover fixed to the service hole cover to cover an opening of the groove, wherein   a first attachment part and a second attachment part are provided on both sides of the groove in the main surface of the service hole cover,   a first end portion of the wiring cover is attached to the first attachment part, a second end portion of the wiring cover is configured to be attached to the second attachment part, and   the wiring cover has a rigidity such that in an undeformed state a space is formed between the second end portion and the second attachment part, wherein the space is configured to allow the at least one wiring member to move into the groove in a temporal attachment state where the first end portion is attached to the first attachment part and the second end portion is not attached to the second attachment part.   
     
     
         2 . The door wiring module according to  claim 1 , wherein
 in the temporal attachment state, the first attachment part supports the first end portion in a posture in which the second end portion can extend toward a free position on an upper side of the second attachment part, and the wiring cover supported by the service hole cover in a cantilever form has the rigidity to an extent that the second end portion can keep the space between the upper side of the second attachment part.   
     
     
         3 . The door wiring module according to  claim 2 , wherein
 an attachment surface of the second attachment part is located closer to a bottom part of the groove along a height direction of the groove than a virtual planar surface formed by extending an attachment surface of the first attachment part.   
     
     
         4 . The wiring module according to  claim 2 , wherein
 an attachment surface of the first attachment part is an inclined surface having a smaller height from the bottom part of the groove with increasing distance from the groove.   
     
     
         5 . The door wiring module according to  claim 4 , wherein
 an attachment surface of the second attachment part is an inclined surface having a larger height from the bottom part of the groove with increasing distance from the groove.   
     
     
         6 . The door wiring module according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a portion of a bottom part of the groove on a side of the first attachment part along a width direction of the groove is an inclined surface having a larger depth toward the side of the first attachment part.   
     
     
         7 . The door wiring module according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the wiring cover includes a first wiring cover and a second wiring cover, the first wiring cover is provided in a first position and the second wiring cover is provided in a second position at an interval along a longitudinal direction of the groove, and   the second end portion being defined by an end of the first wiring cover in the first position and the second end portion being further defined by an end of the second wiring cover in the second position, wherein the second end portion of the first wiring cover and the second end portion of the second wiring cover are provided on a same side with respect to the groove.   
     
     
         8 . The door wiring module according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the wiring cover includes a first wiring cover and a second wiring cover, the first wiring cover is provided in a first position and the second wiring cover is provided in a second position at an interval along a longitudinal direction of the groove, and   the second end portion being defined by an end of the first wiring cover in the first position and the second end portion being further defined by an end of the second wiring cover in the second position, wherein the second end portion of the first wiring cover and the second end portion of the second wiring cover are provided on sides opposite to each other with respect to the groove.   
     
     
         9 . The door wiring module according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the at least one wiring member includes a plurality of wiring members that are housed in the groove in a state of being free from each other.   
     
     
         10 . A composite service hole cover, comprising:
 a service hole cover having a main surface with a groove; and   a wiring cover having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein   a first attachment part and a second attachment part are provided on both sides of the groove in the main surface of the service hole cover, and   in the wiring cover, the first end portion is attached to the first attachment part, the second end portion is configured to be attached to the second attachment part, an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion covers an opening of the groove, wherein the wiring cover has a rigidity such that in an undeformed state a space is located between the second end portion and the second attachment part, and wherein the space is configured to allow at least one wiring member to move into the groove in a temporal attachment state where the first end portion is attached to the first attachment part and the second end portion is not attached to the second attachment part.
